That is what is proper after all? The Nazi regime that renamed it was illegally propped up by the US empire, none of us should be spelling it the way the occupiers want us to
Sorry I did not realize you were a Russian propaganda troll. Have a day.
I’m always torn on this - block that troll or keep downvoting him.
Or you can open your mind a little to the lies you have been fed, leave the right-wing instance and come on over to lemmy.ml, much more welcoming of non-western non-empire approved sources than the Zionists over there and you'll see through the empire's programming quickly

Ah, so basically anyone who post non-western sources and talks about the empire propaganda...that would basically mean everyone from the admins of this wonderful instance down to a couple nice prominent users like Yogthos. Friend, that would leave you with no instance 😁
🙄 Typical liberal default response when faced with the realities of their western programming, open your mind and you'll see
the occupiers
How dare Ukrainians use Ukrainian spellings.
They would prefer the Russian spelling, but it is the current Nazi regime of Ukraine that enforces anti-Russian sentiment!
